When it comes to pothos, I believe everyone is already familiar with it. Pothos is an evergreen herbaceous plant, and pothos has the function of purifying the air and absorbing harmful substances in the air such as nicotine, formaldehyde, and benzene. It can also purify the air and release oxygen. However, after being kept for a period of time, pothos will also develop problems such as yellow leaves and root rot. This is a common problem with potted plants. So how do you solve it?

Actually, using good soil is the key to growing pothos well! I wonder what soil everyone uses for growing pothos? Previously, the editor tried yellow soil. Although there was no root rot, it basically hardly grew. Later, after switching to pine needle soil, the growth was very good. It grew more than one meter in a month, and the pothos branches were thick and strong, with lush green leaves.

Below, I will introduce how to use pine needles to make nutrient-rich pine needle soil. It is loose and fertile, and the resulting soil is slightly acidic. It also makes flowering plants bloom very easily. Let's take a look at how it is made.

How to make pine needle soil:

Collect materials: Collect from under pine trees in mountainous areas or park green belts. Push aside the fresher pine needles on the top layer and select the yellowed pine needles underneath. Be careful not to dig too deep, because further down it is all garden soil.

For freshly picked pine needles, it is recommended not to use them directly for growing pothos at first. It is best to expose them to the sun for two days. This can kill some bacteria and small insects, so as to avoid breeding pests when growing pothos.

Composting treatment: Put the collected pine needles and soil in a plastic bag, wet them with water, then spray in an appropriate amount of insecticide to kill insect eggs, and then place them in a corner of the balcony to ferment. In high temperatures, about 2-3 months are needed for complete decomposition. After it is made, mix it with other soil (sand, perlite......), and you can start planting flowers! Isn't it great!
